Setup
Note
Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct setup.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in direct
sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose a trip
hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the speak-
ers.
• Make sure that the speaker has a stable position to prevent
vibrations.
Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the power plug of your AV receiver or multi-channel ac-
tive subwoofer out of the socket.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer to each speaker. These cables
should be high-quality double-wire speaker cable with marked
strands. The cross section should amount to 2.5 mm
2
.
• A connector comprising two terminals is located on the
back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the
speaker cables.
• The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the
sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connections of your AV receiver or multi-channel
active subwoofer should be marked similarly. The strands
of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or
shapes.
1. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
3. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it clockwise. The cable has now been
clamped in place.
4. Connect the cables to the other speaker in the same way.
5. Connect the speaker cables to your AV receiver or multi-
channel active subwoofer. The operating instructions of the
appliance should contain notes on this.
Crossover frequency
The ideal separation frequency on the AV preamplifier/receiver
or Teufel DecoderStation for the column speaker L 430 FR is
120 Hz.
